Buried in a Financial Times article about Obama's "growing credibility crisis" and fears on behalf of Democrats that they could lose not only the White House but also the Senate to Republicans, Robert Shapiro makes it clear that Obama is relying on an October surprise in the form of a terror attack to rescue his presidency.'

Will it make any great difference to public perceptions? I doubt it ! However, it is great that there is a coherent, cogent account of what happened. I was involved with Sinn Fein here all the way from a street protest party excluded from power right through to seeing our party share Regional Government in the Northern part of Ireland and having a significant presence in the Southern Irish Parliament. I was also on the Party National Executive for most of a decade and have seen and made politics from the inside-out and top-down as well as street level up. Because of this, perhaps these comments may carry a little more weight. 1) While this mass citizen arrest took place during the summit meeting protests, it is obvious that far more is involved here than the mere optics of justifying costs. Anyone familiar with accounts of the round-up of citizens in Chile after the overthrow of the Allende Government there, and the imposition of a military dictatorship, can identify the parallels in the detention procedures.'

"As you said, Mr Chairman, there is no military solution here, so as General Petraeus and General McChrystal said, you cannot win this war by killing every member of Taliban," Holbrooke, told US senators on Wednesday, Press TV reported.' Wednesday, 14 July 2010 11:36 'On 26 May 2010, unreported by the British mainstream press and media, another ‘Child-Stealing by the State’ case occurred in Gibraltar. A 10-year-old IVF girl was snatched from her mother (Ms G) in a secret court, and immediately flown back to UK in the custody of Isle of Wight Social Services. What was the mother’s crime? To try and protect her daughter (Miss X) from paedophile abuse she had suffered from the age of two. What was the little girl’s crime? – to try and tell the truth about her abuse.'

The man went to war illegally and with his partner in crime George Bush they both carried out an atrocious war on innocent people. These two men between them have now been responsible for death of millions of innocent Iraqi’s and Afghans as well as the death and sickness of their own troops by using weapons of mass destruction. How can these two evil men face the people they have tried to eliminate? How can the world allow these two men to walk free from a campaign of mass genocide? Tony Blair, as we all know, paid a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia no so long ago and at one point almost got arrested…..it was only the skills of his own security that stopped this event taking place……..it is the only country in the world that is currently running a War Crimes Campaign to bring these two to justice. Perhaps readers are confused as to how I have arrived at this conclusion? Let me enlighten you on the facts behind the wars in the Middle East.'

Under the Scottish Government’s latest initiative to drive cars off the road, tens of thousands have been lectured on their own doorsteps about public transport and climate change. Four local authorities, Dundee, Dumfries and Galloway, East Renfrewshire, and Falkirk, have lavished £10million on a string of “insulting” green projects, which included sending officials on door-to-door visits.'

Speaking with a former CIA agent, Sanchez stated, “You know what’s interesting about this, in a strange way the event is helpful to the cause of those of us who know how sadistic these fundamental radical Islamic terrorists are and if it helps get the message out there that these are not the good guys then so be it”.'

I was here today at high noon and the crushed white gravel that is underfoot in this camp is just blinding and the heat is shocking. And this is where about 10,000 people have been relocated after they were sent away from another camp in Port-au-Prince. About one in seven has been left homeless and displaced from the January 12th earthquake, and most of them have created temporary housing. Now, six months later, in the middle of earthquake season, the government’s response, that is, the Haitian government and the U.S. government as well as the United Nations, has been this—has been to move people from one set of temporary housing, plastic tarps that are damaged in the wind and the rains, to another set of temporary housing. And there is absolutely no plan anywhere in the country for permanent housing for the 1.9 million people who are left victims.'
